View Full Version : Prodrive P1s
one-slow-wrx 06-28-2004, 12:33 AM I was wondering which you guys would choose for a Blue 2002 WRX, 17" or 18" prodrive p1s in either gold, silver, or anthracite?
Which one should i choose, i'm at a total loss and i've completely given up on choosing what size/color.
Please help, maybe a dancing banana will get you motivated:banana:
Sir_Xenon 06-28-2004, 03:32 PM Well, One-slow, I have a blue-baru with 17" P1s in anthracite and I love it. There are only two colours to go with the blue: gold or anthracite. I chose the anthracite 'cause I like it.
I wouldn't go 18 unless you drive on glass-smooth roads as the ride can be harsh and the weight of an 18" P1 might be a bit much. Other than that, it's a good rim and the colour looks great with blue.
one-slow-wrx 06-28-2004, 05:02 PM thanks man
any other suggestions?
here's some more bananas:banana: :banana: :banana:
Sir_Xenon 06-28-2004, 06:38 PM Man, you are a NooB! that's OK, it's all fun and games...
My suggestion would be to get some spline drive lug nuts for your nice new wheels. The stock nuts may not fit (mine didn't but check with some others). That's about it, it's just a wheel so nothing too complicated..
one-slow-wrx 06-30-2004, 11:19 PM alright, that's all nice and well, but i still need more suggestions, come on people.
stl04 07-01-2004, 01:34 AM man im dying on the same question, neone got pics?
one-slow-wrx 07-01-2004, 07:08 PM yeah, i got some pics, just IM me and i'll send you some
newyorkreload 07-02-2004, 01:40 AM the p1 is based on the WRC Impreza's tarmac wheels, they are 18's and in gold. since you have the WR Blue i favor the gold in 18 inch , and if you get the 18's you can wedge some beefy 235/35s on them... just a sugestion.
do you have a spoiler? what year is your ride? if you got a 02 or 03 WRX i'd also aim for some projector headlights... but that's just me.
one-slow-wrx 07-02-2004, 10:31 AM i have an 02 WRX with the stock spoiler, i'm not sure about the 18s though, i've got the stock brakes on it so if i got the 18s it wouldn't look too good. i was looking at this WRC insipred spoiler by wings west, but i don't know, i got a few other things to do first.
newyorkreload 07-02-2004, 12:27 PM ahh the US spoiler is cool cause it's the same as the JDM STi so you can go for that kinda look. in that case go for the 17's.
if you wanted to get rid of the OE spolier for an WRC inspired upgrade go with the 04 STi's spoiler. they cost about the same as the ones from wings west but they come pre painted in factory colors so you save a few bucks that way.
then there's always the "Sti prodrive style" look. it's what i'm aiming for with my car. except mine's silver.

i think they look sweet. (with 17's) the problem i'm haveing is scoring the front bumper/ grill.

Here are some pics you might enjoy. My car is black though.
Suby1128 07-02-2004, 03:05 PM I have 18" Silver P1's from Mastro. But my car is red not blue. I thought about either Anthracite or Silver, but decided that silver would look cleaner. search in Member Car Gallery and you'll find where I posted some pictures of my car.

P.S. I don't think the ride is too much rougher
Just get tarmacs so I can be l33t.

:rolleyes: yes if you get the 18's get the beefy 235/35s I have 225/40s and I REALLY wish I would have gotten the bit wider higher tire,, would make the ride a bit better as well.
igalwrx 07-10-2004, 04:13 PM I have an '02 sedan with 17" Anthracite P1's with a 22b spoiler. I think they look great. I have seen the 18's and my feeling is that they fill the wheel well better and just plain look badass, but since the suspension seemed to designed with 17's in mind the 18's may get a bit harsh and not take to bumps all that great in a turn.
rukkie 07-13-2004, 03:52 PM anyone with a PSM WRX got these wheels? I really want to see different color fo the P1 on PSM preferably wagons
ride5000 07-19-2004, 11:02 AM anthracite 17's here. nice rim. not the lightest, but i think one of the strongest cast wheels you'll ever run on.
rukkie 07-19-2004, 01:48 PM How much are those P1 17's weigh?
dead-eye 07-25-2004, 02:57 AM I have a GM6(GC8) in RBP and have received a lot of compliments on the rims. The rims are 18's with a harsh ride so I suggest you get the 17's. As for tire width, I run 225's and the clearance is tight with my KYB AGX suspension. Not sure about clearance issues with the GDB.
NWWagon 07-26-2004, 08:17 AM Got the 17" jobbers with 225/45/17 Eagle F1 GS-D3. Can't post pic for some reason but they look good. OH and they weight in a 17" size 19.2lbs. They are a cast Aluminum wheel. Not sure how much the 18" weight.
